However, being an Englishman and accustom- ed to weather vagaries, His Royal Highness decided to take the chances and his suite were of the same mind. It is a moral certainty that the maturity of Hongkong residents, all, in fact, but a few lively spirits, who seem im pervious to the elements and laugh at for. tune's little ways, would have abandoned the trip altogether, but the Prince was not to be 'gainsaid, Amish the most unpropitious circum stances the Royal guest and entourage look their somewhat cimal way in chairs towards Murray Pier.
